Deflasking Cattleya
 

I got a Xmas gift from Fred Clark.A flask of Cattleya.

It is in a plastic square coke bottle with very small 3/4 opening with cap.

How do you get the seedlings out?

Saw videos online but they all where glass bottles(break with hammer) or tupperware plastic container with lid.

Thanks

I bet Fred could tell you how he does it.

Told me to figure it out and gave me a smile.

Then you're cheating!

:yikes:

Something gentle like a chainsaw.:biggrin:

Will taking the cap off and filling with lukewarm water and pouring it out work or do I have to use a razor blade and cut it in half?

Plastic thin-walled bottle?

If yes, poke a hole in the side, then use scissors to cut the top off the bottle.

thanks!!!

Can you please post pictures, I want to see progress, as I just deflasked my Cattleya last month
